Opportunity for Members of Sussex Past to get involved with the Changing Chalk Partnership
Members of Sussex Past are invited to take part in a fantastic opportunity this July, as part of the Changing Chalk Partnership.
Running from Tuesday 9th to Friday 12th July, Members can take part in an Aerial Identification and Earthwork Survey Course at Saddlescombe Farm, near Brighton.
The programme will start with Aerial Surveying on Tuesday and Wednesday, and move onto Earthwork Survey. The sessions take place from 9.30am to 4pm each day, with a half day on Friday.
The comprehensive course, which is free of charge, will contain a mixture of classroom learning and practical work on some impressive earthworks.
How to get involved
If you’d like to get involved, email Gary Webster, Heritage Officer on the Changing Chalk Project, at gary.webster@nationaltrust.org.uk as soon as possible.
More about the Changing Chalk Partnership
Led by the National Trust, Changing Chalk is a landscape-scale partnership connecting nature, people and heritage on and around the South Downs.
From Shoreham to Eastbourne, the ambition is to create a more sustainable future for the Downs’ rare and fragile chalk grassland, its unique cultural heritage and its richly-diverse urban fringe.
By connecting nature, people and heritage across this 458 sqkm area of the eastern South Downs, the project aims to help restore and protect this internationally-significant landscape. Read more about Changing Chalk here.
